Curious, anyone know why sometimes the data and signal bars are blue and sometimes they are white? Thought maybe it was signal strength or active/dormant difference.

i noticed that too. i would think that whatever is blue is what you are using. if you are on a wifi it will have the wifi icon blue and the 3g or 4glte white. i am not 100% sure but i think thats how it works.
Blue (green in aosp) means a connection to google services.

That explains it. Thanks. So why would one one to know this information while using their phone? So much that there would be a status indicator for it.

well i would think that it has something to do with the new data plans having caps. im sure that they want to make people as aware as possible as of when they are using data from the verizon network or a wifi.

This is a feature that's built into android from gingerbread on. It serves several purposes, but the immediate purpose is a tell-tale sign that something may be up with your connection.

Well, since so many features on Android phones depend on synchronization with Google's servers (Gmail, calendar, etc) it's usually good to know if you're connected. It also lets you know when something might be wrong with your data connection even though you are apparently connected to a network.

This seems to be highest on my kernel wakelocks. I searched Google and found out that modifying my wifi network and making it static should do the trick but it didn't work. Anyone else suffering from this problem?

Problem is that the router maybe sending out packets to check on what all devices are still connected and this will vary from router to router and further down to their specific settings ...
It has started happening on my home router but office one is just fine ... so I am going to do some experiments on the home one to find the culprit settings ... its Netgear btw

If you have Wifi connected while the screen is off it will continue to be the highest.

Try this....
Goto Settings > WiFi > Advanced and set "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to anything but "always"....
see how that works out for you...

Maybe a silly question, but I am always wondering if you turn off WiFi when screen off, will I still receive email if I have push email? Of course assume I don't have 3g enabled.

You're turning of wifi, not cellular data so you'd still get pushes and other stuffs coming in from the web.

So read properly as your answer would've made him confused.
How many times can one return a phone for replacement for the same issue? At some point can I request a different device? I'm on my second "one" and it has the same connectivity issues my first one had. Can I at some point ask for a different phone.

You sure its the phone and not issues with the network ? Where I work, we only allow a total of 3 (original, swap, and another swap)

It's already been replaced once. Where I live I have pretty good service, but there are times when I drop my connection while I have a good connection. What happens after the third replacement?

You haven't described the type of issue that you're having. Remember, the bars only indicate voice signal strength.

3 swaps within 1 year. This would be through Asurion. At the Sprint store they will swap it 3 times before offering you a comparable model. If you want to keep the same phone then they can swap it as many times, in store, as you would like.

I can be using various apps like poker F.B or even the browser. Take the internet for instance. I can be using it and at any time it will loose connection. Same with playing poker. While I usually get connected within a minute, it's still annoying. I can't tell that I have good connection cause when it is on it loads pages fairly quick.

I get that a lot on my Note 2. Usually its the phone switching back and forth from ehrpd to 1xrtt. Either your towers are being worked on or are over capacity like mine.. Worst data experience ever. After 10yrs I might bite the bullet and switch carriers, can't take it any longer..

Until your area is complete or a Radio update is released your phone will continue to act like this..Only way I could make mine stable was to run it in CDMA mode only and completely ignore 4G until more towers fill the gaps.

I get the same issue and have come to find a workaround that fixes it. This only works for 3G, but if you switch your network settings from LTE/CDMA to CDMA only you won't have any issues. I never get the issues that you explain while on 4G, but I constantly get them on 3G. Get that fix a try and let me know if it works :good:
Go into settings them power and turn off data sleep.

Call sprint. Have them verify your SIM ID and UICC ID under settings/about/Phone Identity. Make sure they have the same number on your account as the phone. They may argue with you that the number doesn't matter accept for International but make them check anyways. If you have 4G in your area it will matter.....or even if its just Network Vision. Just keep pressing them to verify. If they are different have them connect you to activation's and have them fix it.
So after update to LP Tasker is not working. I had it set up to turn off 4g and background data when screen would time out then reconnect when screen wakes up. Suggestions?

Can't be done without root on Lollipop. Found that out after updating today too. So frustrating being locked out of so much
You can't do it even with root I use Llama on Droid Maxx running cm12.1 and it doesn't work. They changed something in the code that doesn't allow it anymore. It sucks my battery life is taking a hit.

If you figure out how to do that while on Lollipop, there's a bounty for you to claim...

It can't be done automatically. The quickest way I've found is to use the two-finger swipe from the top to get to the quick settings menu then hit the cell signal icon. If anyone finds a way to do it automatically, please don't hesitate to say something! I get horrible reception at work so I now have to manually tell it to turn off mobile data every day. Kinda sucks.
Drew, I'm In the same position. Weak 4g signal that's why I have always used Tasker, paid version, to control it.
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Free mobile app
Has anyone tried using AutoInput and Tasker to leverage the toggles in the pulldown as a workaround?
For some reason I'm not receiving calls. If I reboot my phone it'll work fine, but I don't know for how long unless someone leaves a vm. I have no idea what's causing it, nothing has really changed but I also don't know how long I've been having the problem. I'm running pure nexus rom and Franco kernel if it makes any difference. Any ideas?

What carrier and is this while you're on WiFi?
AT&T and I'm not sure.. I know that it's happened when I've been on wifi, however I can't say it's always the case since I don't necessarily know I missed a call.

On Verizon I only saw this on the 5.0-5.1 builds using VOLTE. Turned off VOLTE and all was good. Not seeing it now on 5.1.1 stock. If running ASOP no telling.
I had the same issue with a G3, but can't remember anything about it or how I fixed it.

I found that the modem/radio I'm using is for t-mobile and wifi calling, so that could be the issue. It's questionable though since it does work, just not always. You'd think if I had the wrong modem it just wouldn't work.

When running a rom these type problems should be posted in the rom thread. Once move from stock we have no option but to have you return to stock to troubleshoot. Once the base system is modified we have no way to troubleshoot it. I run stock rooted with kernel. If something broke it Google or the kernel. You have rom that could be many things. Bad flash, Dirty flash. ect.

Actually, that's to be expected. Every build will work with every carrier, just certain features won't work. Updates are based on your sim.

I tried a stock rom for testing and it seemed to work, but since I don't always know when I miss a call it's incredibly hard to narrow down. It works every time I call it, so it seems completely random that it doesn't work.

Yes it should work. The differences in the builds are in the telephony and ril builds of the software.
I have the options menu to turn everything on but I can't actually see if anyone read my text or if they are typing. My friend updated as well and is on t mobile and we can't see anything for anyone or for each other.
